GQ High Five: Cannes 2014

From the red carpet return of Ryan Gosling to Robert Pattinson dressing like a true leading man, the menswear moves that mattered at Cannes

Ryan Gosling

If you’re going to try the “air tie”, you’d best make sure your black tie is perfectly fitted (and preferably from Gucci, as proven here).

Channing Tatum

While this is further support for our campaign to bring back evening studs, it’s also one that proves the need for guys to rediscover the cummerbund. If Tatum had thrown this on, then that white shirt poking out below the button would have been hidden, and it would have looked damn near perfect.

Robert Pattinson

Our best ‘black tie’ in show: this black tux/navy shirt combination (courtesy of Dior Homme) is a superb curveball that just works.

Ryan Reynolds

Taking his already strong Gucci evening suit game to an even more expert level by pairing it up with those superb patent Prescotts from Jimmy Choo.

Liam Hemsworth

Not only is this a well-fitted suit but it serves to illustrate the importance of proportion in your get-up: for a balanced look, make sure your tie is not larger than your jacket lapels.
